The enclosed and climate-controlled concourse is an important step toward improving the way patients, visitors and staff move between clinical facilities. The timing is ideal as we are beginning to experience cooler temperatures as winter approaches.   Duke University Health System, Duke University Hospital, School of Medicine, School of Nursing, Duke Children's Health Center & Hospital 2011-10-28T13:37:53+00:00 http://insidedukemedicine.org/news/basic-science-day-2011/ http://insidedukemedicine.org/news/basic-science-day-2011/#When:17:11:55Z On Oct. 10, more than 300 faculty members, post-docs and grad students packed into Love Auditorium to hear presentations on the latest work as part of a celebration of basic science research at the Duke University School of Medicine.

Dzau, M.D. Chancellor for Health Affairs and CEO of DUHS It’s sometimes hard to believe that after several years of planning and anticipation, we are now entering the home stretch in the creation of a cancer facility that will enable a transformation in the way that cancer patients are treated at Duke, and is consistent with our organizational mission, vision and values. As we move closer to its opening, I believe it is important for every staff member, faculty and volunteer to clearly understand why we are creating this facility, and how it will enhance our ability to better care for patients and more clearly define an optimal experience for patients and families.
